2019 Europeans Men's Free Skate

[GGFan]

Alexei and I have never shared the same taste in music or style and the content today was rough. Yet I continue to be in awe of his work ethic and commitment to the sport

Harder than the Lutz?

It can be because most of the skaters jump 4Lz with a visible preparation of it/telegraphing which makes it easier to jump than 4Loop (who doesn't allowed that kind of a preparation/gaining speed before it, and for quads speed into the jump can be crucial).

 

[DSQ]

I like Alexie but you can see when he gave up.

 

[WeakAnkles]

Is Bychenko supposed to be wounded? Bitten on the neck? Have tuberculosis?
So much potential.

It's a Dracula program, but apparently a Dracula Who Dribbles on His Nice Clean White Shirt.

He’s a vampire.

A costume works for both Dracula and say La Boheme. I am enchanted.

Very rough for Bychenko. Unfortunately, he loses the most with this -5/+5 system. Nothing was really past a +2 here, all in the -2 to +1 range for all the elements mostly. I felt that the Dracula music overpowered him for the most part outside of the footwork sequence. I like his folk short program last year much, much better.

Okay, who cursed the 3A?

Dmitrov Jnr is practicing his 4A and throwing everything out of whack. That's my theory at least...

Also did Alexei have a nose bleed earlier? I don't think that stain is part of the costume.

Hahaha Mateo FaceTiming

Really? I always thought the loop to be the easiest to recognise because of its telegraphing. Many skaters seem to do a series of circles, building momentum, before launching into it.

I know the loop can really eff up your hips though but we’re off topic now.

Javi's last FS... (sobs)

 

[anonymoose_au]

OMG last group! My body is not ready!

Again, it's time to mention that 3 skaters from Russia have a Carmen FS. And we have two of them here.

His music is from Dracula. He’s a vampire, the blood was there last time I saw him.

I hope that Kovtun can come back from the short and that Kolyada can keep up the consistency. Javi just needs to focus and not get ahead of himself. And I just want Aymoz to deliver an experience like I know his program can.

 

[Anni234]

Hoping Kovtun brings it

 

[LaArdilla]

If I were Silvia Fontana and John Zimmermann I would take some holidays after the Euros. They have students in three disciplines!

Misha is a great Carmen. He goes with so much drama. And Alina does too!
